the aim of the study was to determine the resistance patterns of pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates recovered from patients with surgical wounds in hospitals and also to investigate their epidemiological relatedness using molecular typing techniques. twenty pseudomonas sp. isolated from surgical wounds were subjected to antibiotic susceptibility testing by disk diffusion, plasmid profile, sds-page...

introduction: considering the role of hla matching in transplant outcome, the quality of hla-dr typing is clearly an important issue.in recent years serologic methods have been replaced with dna based typing methods.the main objective of this study was to compare hla-dr typing data obtained from existing serologic method with that obtained by the new pcr-ssp method. material and methods: fifty-...

Background: The present study is the first comprehensive report of the Molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV) in Iran based on the molecular technique for differentiation and typing of the MCV1 and MCV2. Methods: Patients were diagnosed as having tumor-like genital warts less than 5 mm in diameter, and HIV seronegative samples were chosen for this cross-sectional study. TaqMan real-time PCR was used...

This paper presents several common molecular typing methods, Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE), Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisma (RFLP), Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD), Automatic Ribotyping, rep-PCR, Multi-Locus Sequence Typing (MLST), in which the application and progress of molecular typing of pathgens for these methods are described. These methods played an important ...

conclusions the inter- and intra-hospital dissemination of resistant clones is a matter of concern and is an indicator of the level of the improvement and surveillance of standard hygiene, particularly disinfection and hand washing before and after contact with patients. given the emergence of mbl-producing strains, surveillance has become an important procedure to control the transmission of r...

background methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (mrsa) remains a significant public health problem and treatment challenge. objectives this study was conducted to determine the frequency, molecular types, and drug resistance of s. aureus isolated from nasal carriers in two teaching hospitals (hajar and kashani) in shahrekord, southwestern iran. methods in this cross-sectional study, 262 ...

background: linear dermatitis is endemic in iran where most cases occur in the caspian sea coast and fars prov­ince. the disease is caused by beetles of the genus paederus which are active from early spring to beginning of au­tumn although its incidence rises from may to august. the classic taxonomy of paederus spp. is based on the male genitalia that is very complex and needs expertise. in thi...
